Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I start with AI governance?

Start with a Shadow AI risk assessment to understand exposure, publish an AI Acceptable Use Policy, and establish a governance owner. The AI Governance Maturity Model provides a structured roadmap.

What is Shadow AI and why does it matter for governance?

Shadow AI is unsanctioned AI tool use by employees — outside of IT-approved systems. It creates significant data exposure, compliance, and accountability gaps. See the Shadow AI Resource Center for guidance.
